Quick update. Basically the code above is fine except for one thing. The attribute I have to read is not "inMesh", but rather "cachedInMesh" >From Maya's Mesh Node documentation...
*inMesh* (*i*)meshNULL[image: output] <http://download.autodesk.com/global/docs/maya2014/en_us/Nodes/flagHelp.html>[image: input] <http://download.autodesk.com/global/docs/maya2014/en_us/Nodes/flagHelp.html>[image: connectable] <http://download.autodesk.com/global/docs/maya2014/en_us/Nodes/flagHelp.html>The input (creation) mesh. *cachedInMesh* (*ci*)meshNULL[image: output] <http://download.autodesk.com/global/docs/maya2014/en_us/Nodes/flagHelp.html>[image: input] <http://download.autodesk.com/global/docs/maya2014/en_us/Nodes/flagHelp.html>[image: storable] <http://download.autodesk.com/global/docs/maya2014/en_us/Nodes/flagHelp.html>Internal cached input mesh used only for file I/O. This attribute is for internal use and should never be directly manipulated by the user. If it is modified the results will be unpredictable. which is possibly what I am looking for. If I try to apply this point information to another compatible mesh, I see that it goes back to the mesh original state. Anyway, it doesn't work in all cases. Say that I have my mesh referenced in Maya, I select it, I send it to Mudbox, and then after some tweaking I send it back to Maya. At this point if I run the same script (querying the cachedInMesh attribute), i get the same error as above (Unexpected internal error). This means that for some reason now that attribute is not valid anymore. Or it was somehow modified by Mudbox... If I open the Hypergraph I see that there's a new shape node (that is the mesh from Mudbox) whose outMesh goes straight into my referenced mesh's inMesh. Whether I disconnect it or not, the script will fail anyway. I thought I got closer to the solution, but I can't really call it done yet. Any suggestion anyone?
